US President Donald Trump and his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, sent very different messages regarding the Corona pandemic, on Saturday, as part of the campaign for candidates running for the presidential elections, with the number of cases of “Covid-19” in the United States rising again.

Trump addressed a few thousand of his supporters at a crowded outdoor rally in North Carolina, one of the key states in next week's election.

He said that the United States has passed the difficult stages in combating "Covid-19", and mocked the extra caution with which Biden's election campaign is committed.

As for Biden, who is the former vice president, he addressed his supporters, who stayed in about 130 cars during a campaign conference in the swing state of Pennsylvania, and warned of a bleak winter unless the Trump administration made a better effort to contain the disease that killed 224,000 Americans.

Opinion polls indicate Biden is ahead of Trump nationwide, but the ratios are more closely aligned between them in important states that can determine the election result.

And in Lamberton, North Carolina, Trump told his supporters that he would make a speedy recovery from the economic damage caused by the lockdown measures taken to combat the virus, which destroyed small businesses and left millions out of work.

"It (the elections) is a choice between a great recovery that Trump will achieve, and a general isolation imposed by Biden," he said.

"We have overcome the difficult thing," he added.

In contrast to this scene, Biden warned that the impending winter months could be more severe, due to the high number of HIV infections.

"A dark winter awaits us unless we change our methods," he said, referring to Trump's attempts to contain the spread of the virus.

Biden made these statements during an election conference in Bristol, where his supporters gathered in cars and trucks to avoid infection with "Covid-19".

Biden's campaign has ensured that every car has a maximum of four passengers.

In Lamberton, Trump mocked Biden's election conference, which he said he saw on television.

"There were very few cars," he said.

I've never seen an audience like this before.

It was a very, very small crowd. ”

The United States recorded a record daily increase in the number of new cases of "Covid-19", exceeding 84 thousand infections on Friday, according to a count compiled by "Reuters", and the increase was concentrated in swing states, such as Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Many states have extended the period of voting in person in early elections, as well as voting by mail before Election Day, to avoid the risks in light of the Corona pandemic.

Trump cast his vote in Florida, joining more than 56 million Americans who cast their votes early.

Trump cast his vote in a library in West Palm Beach near his Mar-a-Lago resort, after he changed his permanent residence and address in the voter register last year from New York to Florida, one of the states he must win to support his bid for a second term.

"I gave my vote to a guy called Trump," Trump told reporters after casting his vote.

The large number of early voters may contribute to the highest turnout in more than 100 years, according to US election project data.

Biden received another support from former President Barack Obama, who participated in an election conference to support the Democratic candidate in Miami.

Obama said, "He (Trump) did not show any interest in getting the job done or helping anyone except himself and his friends, or dealing with the presidency as a reality TV program to attract more attention to his person.

"Those of us who are left must live with the consequences of what he did," he added.

"At least 220,000 Americans have died."
